Thanks for your comments.
This shot was accidental; I immediately discovered the wrong focusing and I took a "perfect focus" image. but when scanned this image and its great bokeh won the comparison.
Their Army is just for parades and it does not have any military capacity; they still use the ancient rifle used by the Royal Italian Army during WW 2 (i wonder where they can get the 6.5 mm cartridges)
I am glad you like this picture: it was my first photographic session with the Spotmatic, during my Summer holidays on the Adriatic beaches.
I will post it larger.
Thanks for your positive comment; this photo was taken with a FED 50 Avtomat (courtesy of my sister), Polypan 50F developed with Caffenol.
Next time I will upload larger files of course.
Dear Ted,
a nice picture indeed! And I am always happy to see a Royal Enfield: I am a happy owner and driver of a Royal Enfield Bullet 350 black colour
Thanks for viewing my picture. You will be welcome to the next re-enactment (it should be the first weekend of June 2013): a great opportunity for taking lots of interesting pictures, I am sure you would enjoy it!
